Carol McCloud writes a simple yet powerful message in her 2006 book, Have You Filled A Bucket Today?.

A FULL bucket produces a great feeling.

An EMPTY bucket yields a miserable feeling.

Make two columns on a sheet of paper. Label one column “Filled Bucket” and label the other column “Emptied Bucket.” In each column write a list of people, events, and/or things that “fill” and “empty” your bucket, or that make you feel great and miserable. Let go of the people, events, or things that emptied your bucket, and pay close attention to those that filled your bucket.
